    Anyone with a hair fetish?? I'd bet she would ship it...

    I emailed her and suggested that the American Cancer Society will take any color so long as it's at least 8" long to make wigs for chemo patients.

    Movie Theater The Man who Shot Liberty Valance

    I always thought "The Shootist" was his best movie; I never liked the "I'm John Wayne in your face" persona that seemed to make him so cinematically popular with the public. Oddly, I didn't mind his views/persona/or projection of character in real-life interviews whatsoever, but you'll have to...

    Movie Theater The Man who Shot Liberty Valance

    Two of my favorite movie quotes come from "Valdez is Coming" and "Hombre". "Sharps. Or some kind of buffalo gun... or a cannon. He can shoot, an' he know when to move... and we have lost five more." I am always amazed that on this website, whenever guys wanna name their best movie quote, no...

    Movie Theater The Man who Shot Liberty Valance

    John Twang a draft-dodger?? Ok. Maybe "dodge" isn't the right word... maybe 'avoid' fits. And actually, John was still service-age. He was 34 by about half a year when the war started. And he didn't push to enlist, he allowed Republic Studios to file for a hardship exemption claiming he was a...

    Movie Theater The Man who Shot Liberty Valance

    Never was a John Twang fan. Couldn't fathom true WWII vets participating in a war film with his sorry ass--The Longest Day comes to mind immediately. I don't care what anyone says, that mofo dodged the draft. Ifn he'da wanted to serve, he had the status to push his way through. Even John Ford...

    Stopping a bear attack with a pistol, a compilation of events.

    Yeah, I believe that shit, too. 9mm my ass. Years ago my wife and I paid for the "backroom tour" at San Francisco's Fleishhacker Zoo. One of the places they allowed us to go was behind the bear habitats where they're fed and examined. There was a kodiak sleeping on his belly at the door (all...

    Movie Theater Let's have an argument -- Which is the Best Bond Movie...

    Sean Connery is the "best" Bond because he's the sentimental favorite I grew up with; I was 11 when Dr. No came out but didn't glom onto the series until Goldfinger screened in 1965. But Goldfinger inspired me to read the books and the James Bond character was best portrayed by Timothy Dalton...

    Places to save some $: grocery/gas, insurance etc

    Gasbuddy.com is a great app for searching for the best gasoline/diesel prices. There's a Conoco station 5 miles out of the way that sells regular at $2.95 while all the rest (including Kum & Go) are hovering at $3.19-3.29. I never would have found the station on my own; it's not on my usual...

    Diy shooting table to be left outside ideas?

    I poured my own out of concrete. I don't live on the property anymore (in another state) or I'd take a picture for you. As I recall, it cost me about $20. I scrounged "heavy-duty" cardboard tubes from Lowe's-- as I recall, it might have been (a single) 6-8" tube left over from their carpet...

    Any Audio Video system experts out there?

    Thanks again to all ya'll. Old Salty, I'm pretty sure it's not amplifier-related. When I was swapping cable connections to see if it was speaker related, I also swapped from one amp to another (I have three), other speakers dropped out also when I routed the Marantz RF-Out to those different...

    Any Audio Video system experts out there?

    Thanks, Gents. I'm running the XLR balanced connectors; the drop out occurs in either mode, RCA or XLR, and I've cross-checked amplifier and speaker connections too, by swapping out wires in all configs. I'm 99% sure the dropout originates in the Marantz processor. Leaving it running 24/7 with...

    Any Audio Video system experts out there?

    I have a Marantz 7702 MkII preamp/processor. When I use it "normally" it sometimes drops (mostly) the right front channel- once in a while, it'll be a different channel that drops out- the rear left channel or even the side left channel- but no sound will come at all from one channel out of the...

    Retirement looms on the near horizon.......

    As I read your post, I culled it down to three questions, which I left as "quoted" above. The answer seems plainly obvious-- You say you can sock away another $500,000 if you stayed another 6 years. BUT, you claim that as it stands now, if the market dropped 20%, you could weather it just fine...

    Gun Broker Sale

    Call in the morning and ask the station manager to withhold enough cash from the daily deposit so's you can cash your MO. Most will comply; in any case, if it's a large amount, go to the PO at the end of the day after they've had plenty of time to conduct business at the windows.

    Gun Broker Sale

    Absofuckinglutely. I worked as a window clerk at the post office for 2 miserable fn years decades ago. USPS Money Orders have absolutely NO security. If they're lost, the purchaser must wait 30(?) days before filing an application to trace it, and there's a fee. I don't remember if it's 30 days...

    Concerned about my exposure to fiberglass.

    "Is it serious?" My first reaction is, "Jesus H Christ. You're Goddamn right it is", but I don't know your work environment, etc.--did you even wear a Covid-type mask, or a neckerchief, were you cutting/handling fiberglass constantly for 40hr/2.5/"4" years, were there fans blowing ('glass) at...

    Concerned about my exposure to fiberglass.

    If you ever plan to get life insurance, do it first before meeting any pulmonary doctors/facilities. Testing isn't a time "critical" requirement. Whatever damage you've suffered is done. It'll show up a year from now just the same. Don't panic; think this through. Plan ahead for your long-term...

    Concerned about my exposure to fiberglass.

    I guess this topic- the self-inflicted dismissal for concern of one's health, enrages me, because either while sleeping or immediately upon waking, I had another couple thoughts... Nepa1990, you make a "distinction" that you've been with the company for 4 years, but working specifically with...

    Concerned about my exposure to fiberglass.

    I can't believe the SHIT I'm reading here... Pardon me if I don't mince words and sugar-coat my observations. Nepa1990, HOW THE FUCK can you be so stupid in today's (industrial) work environment?? No offense, but what I'm reading here is the typical "AVERAGE-intelligence-quotient" American...
